Hey Readers,

I just wanted to take time and tell you about myself and my Sweet Addiction 1st Series book “Just like You.” I started writing when I was in the sixth grade due to an English assignment of writing a poem. I realized then, that I liked rhyming words and for every little thing I saw, I wrote a poem. As years went by my writing has grown and I started to get into subjects about friends, family, birthdays, etc. I have written three books since the sixth grade that I have in journals. This last book took me seven years to write because I wrote when I felt a certain emotion. I turned to poetry when I had no one to talk to, I turned to poetry when I was upset, I turned to poetry when I was happy, and I turned to poetry when I was sad. I found writing as a way to vent and then I would look back at my poems and remember the moment. I always felt better after writing. I am not a person to use profanity to much in person but in certain poems that’s how I felt and so I wrote it instead of saying them. My book has every kind of emotion in your every day life. That is why it is called “Just like You.” Everyone feels sad, happy, angry, and in love. I have had friends come up to me and I would write them dedication poems, and some people wanted to borrow my journals because they can relate to the poems. I didn’t want to let out my only journals so I would let them read it when I was around. I never thought of publishing until my uncle passed away. My family is my biggest fan. My cousins loved reading my poetry, my uncle was my critic and said I had a talent and he loved to hear whenever I had a new poem. Another big inspiration for me to publish is for my cousin that is 13 years old right now. She has been a fan of mine for awhile and she is the type to hold all her emotions inside and not talk to anyone about them. I showed her how I turned to poetry and how she could share them or keep them to herself and I told her secrets on how she can write without anyone knowing who she is writing about. Writing poetry is now her way of letting it out. Her new best friend is her journal. My uncle who passed away believed in me and my cousin looks up to me and that is what brought me to publishing my book so that I can share my feelings, experiences and words with my readers. I hope you enjoy the first series of Sweet Addiction “Just like You.”
